As 777Flyer said, it was a medical emergency. More specifically, a pax was having severe chest pains, so it was decided to stop at BGR to boot the pax off! I'm only kidding, folks. The pax was taken to a local hospital, and AA79 continued on to DFW uneventfully.

I was the lucky buck who had the pleasure of rebooking all the connecting pax. Aprox 90 misconnect pax, with about 25 of them having to spend the night in North Texas, courtesy of AA.

All-in-all, it was a rather uneventful divert flight here on the "receiving" end!
